Cleveland Cavaliers to Sport New Throwback Jerseys for 2012-13

July 31st, 2012 at 5:53 PM By Pat Murphy

It is being reported that Adidas Basketball will make a new third throwback jersey for the Cleveland Cavaliers for the upcoming 2012-13 season. These jerseys reportedly, to be worn for specific Retro Nights, will be the infamous black and electric blue from the days of Shawn Kemp. They will be a part of the REV30 line, by Adidas, and will be available for retail.

All the jerseys worn in the NBA this year are expected to be lighter and have quick-drying technology. They are also made from a recycled material that is supposed to cut down the rubbing of the jersey on the player's skin. While that is not a problem players generally complain about, it does seem good that they will be more comfortable.

The Cavaliers are no strangers to third jerseys, especially throwback ones, having had them as recently as 2010. While some may associate the jerseys with bad memories and bad luck, this new, young, Cleveland team will look to erase those old highlights and bring excitement back to The Q on those Retro Nights.

It is yet to be released when these jerseys will be debuted, or when fans will be able to begin purchasing them, but rest assured Cavaliers 101 will let you know.
